How One BYU Alum Shaped the Sound of Modern Music
If you haven’t heard about him, you’ve most certainly heard the fruits of his labors. D. B. Keele Jr. , or “Don,” as his friends and family call him, attended BYU between 1969 and 1972 where he graduated with his Masters in Electrical and Engineering (MSEE) and a Minor in Acoustics. If you’ve ever listened to music on any loudspeaker, you’ve enjoyed some of his many contributions to the professional audio industry.

Celebrating Art and Faith with Tiny Temples
With BYU celebrating 150 years of education and service, Dr. Greg Nordin’s lab had the idea of printing 150 tiny temples with the high-resolution printing technology their lab developed. One student in Dr. Nordin’s lab had previous experience with 3D printing. Callum Galloway, new to the lab at the time, developed the project further, and printed the first 150 chronologically built temples, as they have the most unique designs.

No Hardware? No Problem! Remote ID for Older Drones
Drones have been a fast-spreading and useful technology; they take pictures, video, can be used to transport things, and so much more. But technology changes fast–and often comes new regulations. Many older drones do not have the ability to transmit remote ID telemetry data, which is now required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and includes information like location, velocity, heading, and drone identification.
